Dr. Harry Thomas of Austin Gastroenterology explains that the goals of a Low FODMAP diet are twofold. First and foremost we want to restore a person’s digestive health and improve their quality of life. But first we must understand what each person’s individual food triggers are, so they can be avoided – at least for a while. There are three phases in this exercise: The Elimination Phase, The Reintroduction Phase, and the Personalization Phase. Dr. Thomas explains the process and purpose of each phase, and the benefits a person might expect if followed correctly.
